This fantastic camp runs in two one-week sessions starting in mid-July, and includes an overnight and day camp option. Residential campers will have the unique opportunity to stay overnight in Gzowski College and will live like a real on-campus student for a week. Campers will be under 24 hour supervision and be provided 3 meals per day. The day camp runs from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. with meal plans being an option for day campers should they choose to go that route.

For those looking for the all-encompassing university experience, activities such as an evening trip to the zoo, bonfires, hikes, on-campus recreational activities, a formal dinner, and a trip to the movies are in store.

The deadline for registration is June 10th, 2016 yet May 20th offers another deadline of interest. The camp is offering a limited number of bursaries based on academic excellence and potential financial need. This is a date you'll want to circle on your calendar!
